The Denver Broncos will face the Cleveland Browns in a conference battle of 3-3 teams for this week's edition of Thursday Night Football.
Both teams enter the matchup in the midst of a losing streak. For the Broncos, that streak is three games after they opened the season with three wins, and for the Browns that streak is two games, and Cleveland isn't getting any healthier.
The Browns will be without its starting quarterback, Baker Mayfield, due to injury. They're also missing running backs Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt.
Here is everything you need to know to ensure you're ready to watch and bet the TNF contest between the Browns and the Broncos.
Broncos vs. Browns Start Time
- Date: Thursday, Oct. 21
- Time: 8:20 p.m. ET
- Location: FirstEnergy Stadium, Cleveland, OH
As with the rest of Thursday Night Football games, this one will kick off at 8:20 p.m. ET. Both the Browns and Broncos come into the game on short weeks after playing afternoon games on Sunday.
Neither team has played a primetime game coming into this matchup, and the Broncos don't have another one on the calendar. The Browns are scheduled for a Sunday Night matchup against the Ravens at the end of Thanksgiving week in addition to a Monday Night Football game against the Steelers in Week 17.
Of course, both teams could be flexed in or out of a Sunday Night Football slot towards the end of the year depending on the circumstances.
